Almost two weeks have passed since the murder of 19-year-old Binyahu Razi from Givat Ze'ev, who was killed in an AIRBNB apartment during a brutal lynching in the Nachlaot neighborhood. In an exceptional move, the police have requested the public's help in locating the main suspect who fled the scene: 17-year-old Avi'or Sasson from Pisgat Ze'ev.

Dikla Razi, the mother of the victim, addressed a message to the fugitive suspect:

"I want to send a message from here to the murderer: If you knew how to come and murder and be a partner in the murder—everyone had a role in this heinous murder of my son—do not run away like a mouse. Be a man. Come, turn yourself in."

As the investigation currently stands, the suspects in this case include:

  • Agam Tsarfi, the victim's ex-girlfriend, suspected of ordering the murder;

  • Shilat Huta, a friend who was with her on the evening of the crime;

  • David Keren (18), suspected of acting as a link to Linor Sasson, who is believed to be the mediator and mastermind behind the murder;

  • Avi'or Sasson (17), the son of Linor, who is currently a fugitive;

  • A 16-year-old girl who assisted the suspect in escaping;

  • Three other minors whose names are under a gag order.

Evidence shows that prior to the murder, Tsarfi had repeatedly threatened Binyahu. She was documented arriving at his grandmother's house and left recordings in which she was heard saying: "You will listen to me, I will come up to your house, you cancer patient, I will destroy you." Ultimately, this verbal violence escalated into physical action when a group of teenagers, directed by an adult woman, took the law into their own hands and ended the life of the 19-year-old.
